I have a classic skin for Dazzle and another one I'm working on. Any recommendations for installers until this is implemented?

By the way, I really REALLY hope you guys are planning on making 1.20 an OPTIONAL update. Making Dazzle mandatory with no option to switch skins is a VERY bad idea.

I'm adding my vote to this issue. While some people may find the current color scheme to be the best thing since sliced bread, others of us find it blinding and unusable.

Please make skinning a high priority before making this the standard viewer.
